This blog format wasn't ideal for conveying the information I wanted to share with current and potential volunteers, so I have started a new website at http://www.successinthemiddle.wetpaint.com/. That site contains details regarding becoming a volunteer as well as updates for each school or site and articles and links for volunteers who are interested in "continuing education."
Please join us there. :)
